Not gonna lie. The Mojo here sucks.

Gentlemen (I'm using a very broad definition as with a strict definition, few on this board would qualify).

Please, ask yourselves this question: does this argument help our mojo?

If the answer is yes, by all means continue, in fact escalate it to the point of absurdity as there is no such thing as too much mojo.

If the answer is no, well, you both should know what to do.

The Deep/CL82 squabbling is pretty much tradition, and may have been what’s missing up to this point; but the Deep, deep despair is new, and frankly concerning. We haven’t even tipped off yet and he’s already started a post mortem and assigning blame.

All I can offer is to remember that winning a championship isn’t supposed to be easy. There will be bumps, maybe giant holes in the road, and maybe the last two smooth cruises have caused us to forget how to embrace the struggle. I find that when things appear dark and uncertain, it helps to reflect upon the writing of the ancients and draw comfort from their wisdom:

“Life isn't some candy mountain with forests full of steaks prepared just the way you like them and meadows full of models who think your story about the time you ran a car over your own foot makes you the most interesting man they ever desperately wanted to sleep with. Life is a struggle. You get out there and fight for what you get. No one is going to give it to you.”

The mojo know us, and likes us, and if we just hold things together and each do what we need without concern for the apathetic, the ignorant, the uninitiated, were still gonna win the whole damn thing!

Not quite 100% accurate. Prankster gave out a Senhor Testiculo award every game. I was the one that determined, based on a lack of testicular fortitude that was our beacon. Up to that point, it was for someone who HAD balls. I determined we needed it because of our LACK of balls. And I give him credit for his piece of that.

For the record, he's done nothing notable since.

For the record: it was I who introduced Senhor to the Boneyard. And yes, I was steward for the Senhor Testiculo award, after each game.

And it was I who was hung, for the mojo. And it was I who was silenced! My punishment was to be disallowed from posting for the duration.

All so Deepster could run wild claiming all the accolades for djnning up the mojo that delivered Natty #5

You are absolutely correct about the woe is us crowd that has been lamenting our seeding (hell, we've made it out of the first two rounds with worse seeds than an eight) and those who are acting like scared little girls (there is a big overlap here) because we may have to play Duke, Florida or Alabama (should we have less courage than Robert Morris?).

We shouldn't worry about who may be in our path, those in our path need to worry about us, fear us and beg for mercy.

I'm am furious with some of participation trophy, activity breaks for orange slices loving, making sure that everyone goes home happy candy asses on this board. We've gone through this and came out with new plunder for our trophy cases six times over the past twenty five tournaments and in all candor, we've just barely started.

It's time to send out the warning to all potential opponents: send your women and children somewhere safe. Have your men make sure their affairs are in order before we get there because we are not taking prisoners. We can offer our opponents an honorable death but that is all they've got to look forward to. We will dance on their ashes.

Senhor was there four #4

We all need to do our part to increase the Mojo. I’ll be wearing my Blue Devils gear and drinking Natty Ice.

Lol, no actually, says you. Before the 2023 run you were saying the entire tradition should be dropped. I mean, I can pull the posts but I'm reluctant to do it on game day. During the 2023 run, you hopped on my Bill Murray as Mojo icon bandwagon, which is fine, and then last year you came up with the lame ass Taylor Swift thing. The well has been dry for you for quite a while. Fortuitously the team has been good enough to overcome the fact that you've been shooting mojo blanks for years.

Just sit back and be quiet and wait for them to bring in the tray with your food so you can make your 6:30 bed time. The rest of us will carry their mojo ball, as usual.

All lies.

I never said it should be stopped. I hoped someone else could take the reins. You know. After I did this every March for two plus decades.

And I definitely did not take Bill Murray from you. That’s just hogwash.

And however effective or ineffective you think I am? I’m 1,000 times more impactful than you on your best day.

The squabbling is all part of the formula. The Doubting Thomas’ and Chicken Littles can’t help themselves.

The despair is new and real. The one thing we’ve always had is blind faith. Taking the first step when we can’t see the staircase. Now? We have people blatantly picking Duke and not even blinking about it. People saying we can’t win it. Saying Sweet 16 is a good season. This is different. I have a finger right on the the pulse of the Mojo in the place and it’s on life support today.
 
Combing thru my bracket pool, mainly UConn fans, and I see some interesting things.

A few fellow season ticket holders, some who sit next to me, have selected Florida as their champion. Some brackets have all chalk.

$25 and the truth comes out!

Lol that's bull and you know it. You were crapping all over the process for the better part of a year and only hopped on the bandwagon at the 11th hour once it became obvious, we were poised to make a run.

And yeah, you absolutely hopped on the Bill Murray idea after people were already posting it. I'll tell you what after Match Madness, you find your earliest post mentioning it and then I'll go find mine. One will be earlier than the other. Whoever is the latest doesn't post for a year. How's that sound?

Back it up with proof or STFU
 
It won't be easy but our guys are ready. When UConn is an underdog as everyone is against us we play well. And we are Big East tough.
